Chapter 41: The Crucifixion of Acre

Sure enough, as Coriander expected, Ake's kid was in trouble, but fortunately, she kept an eye on it, inquired about the location of the Longcheng Newspaper, and ran here, otherwise Ake could have a good time with the fists and kicks of the deputy editor-in-chief?

The short deputy editor-in-chief looked at Ting Sven, looking like an old scholar who was powerless and indisputable, but in fact, he was not ambiguous at all, regardless of whether the other party was a child who had never thought of resisting.

Ake knelt on the ground and hugged the thigh of the deputy editor-in-chief, begging bitterly, "Deputy editor-in-chief, as long as you let me stay, I will definitely sell the newspaper well!" You also know that I usually sell the most newspapers, and I will pay off the money I owe to the newspaper company! And the silver dollar that was mortgaged, as long as I sell the newspaper for a few more days, I can earn it back! ”

Onlookers would have felt compassion for the poor child, but the deputy editor-in-chief was indifferent.

He grabbed Ark's hair with his big hand, and pointed to Ark's nose with the other hand, with a ruthless hideous look on his face, "Let go!" Are you going to let go!? ”

He didn't give anyone a chance to react at all, and slapped Ark hard in the face.

Acke suddenly felt a ring in his eyes and his ears, and at the same time, a trace of bright red blood overflowed from the corner of Wu Qing's mouth, and his left cheek was high and swollen.

The deputy editor-in-chief raised his foot and kicked him out!

The sky was spinning, and before Ake could snort, the whole person was like a fallen leaf in a storm, unable to control the direction of his fall, and fell heavily on the ground and rolled down the steps, with abrasions on his arms, legs, hands, and even his face.

Ark tried to get up from the ground, but his whole body was crushed by the severe pain, and his whole body seemed to be drained, and he couldn't exert any strength.

His small hands were holding the ground with a pair of torn skin, and his two thin arms were obviously unable to support the weight of his upper body and trembled and staggered.

In the end, Ake was unable to stand up on his own weak strength. Just as he was about to make a close contact with the ground, a slender arm stretched in front of him, supporting his thin body.

Seeing that it was coriander, Ake couldn't believe his eyes.

Xu Shi also fell into his eyes when he was kicked away, and at this moment he felt that the inside of his eyes was ** hot, as if something uncontrollable was about to gush out.

"Master......" Ake's voice was a little hoarse, mixed with a hint of choking.

Seeing Ake's body covered with bruises and his little face deformed, Coriander's chest ached.

At this moment, she was stuck in her throat, not knowing what to say, and not knowing what Ake wanted to hear most at this moment.

Maybe at this moment, just a small force that can support his small body can represent all he wants.

Ake carefully tugged at Coriander's sleeves, his little hands trembling slightly, as if he was trying to hold back the tears that rolled in his eyes, and as if he was afraid that Cilantro would ruthlessly throw him away like the cruel deputy editor.

Tasting the helplessness and fear of this child, in addition to feeling distressed, a nameless fire that could not be suppressed sprung up in the heart of coriander.

When the deputy editor-in-chief saw Ake snuggling up next to coriander, he thought that the relationship between the two was close, so he took one hand and stood on the steps to look down on the two of them, and the other finger pointed to the air and gestured in the air, "You are from his family, you came just right-"

Facing the cold gaze swept by the coriander, the deputy editor-in-chief was all over, his face was numb and his scalp was tight, as if someone had lifted his neck, and his voice stopped abruptly, and he lost the slightest impassioned and high-spirited appearance.

The other party is just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, who has lived for more than forty years, and he has walked more than she eats salt, and he was frightened because of the look of this yellow-haired girl, which is not ridiculous!

The deputy editor-in-chief stabilized his mind and said to coriander: "This kid owes our newspaper one hundred and seventy copper yuan, if you pay it off today, I won't count your interest!"

After speaking, he stretched out his palms towards the coriander, obviously asking for money.

Coriander pressed Ake's weak shoulder, making Ake feel unusually reassured.

"I'd like to hear why this kid owes you so much money." Coriander pretended to be a listener.

The deputy editor-in-chief began to accuse Ake of his crimes, "In recent times, he has not sold up to the standard number of newspaper copies per day. The day before yesterday, if I gave him 250 copies of the newspaper, he sold more than 20 copies. The day before yesterday was even more excessive, I didn't get a single newspaper back, the newspaper didn't sell, he didn't sell it, he did bring me the newspaper back, do you know what he told me, he said that the newspaper fell into the river and was soaked! I don't find a better excuse for lying, I think this kid has embezzled the money from selling newspapers! ”

Whether Ake lied or not, Coriander knows better than anyone else.

At the moment, she regretted that she shouldn't have taken Ake to Old Town Street the day before yesterday.

Wait, isn't there money on Ake?

On the day he went to Old Town Street, he exchanged a newspaper for a silver dollar from Rong Ying.

Coriander bowed her head and asked Ark, "Didn't that person give you a silver dollar that day, what about the money?" ”

Ake tilted his little head and looked at her with clear but sad eyes, "The money is for my sister to pay the rent." ”

How poor the living conditions in Ake's family were, Coriander saw with her own eyes.

I'm afraid that the rent over there in Yihongyuan is not cheap, and after paying the rent, their sister and brother can't even maintain the most basic life.

Their sister and brother depend on each other, and the elder sister Ayun is sick at home, how can it be enough to rely on her younger brother Ake to sell newspapers to make a living?

Coriander looked at the well-dressed deputy editor-in-chief coldly, and pushed Ake forward, "You beat the child like this, don't you plan to pay for the medical expenses?" ”

As if hearing a joke, the deputy editor-in-chief laughed, and the laughter was full of disdain and disbelief. He pointed to his nose and held his toes high, "You want me to pay him for his medical expenses?" Make no mistakeβ€”" He pointed his finger in the direction of the accusatory Ake, "He's holding me back, ask him if he did it himself!" ”

Bullying a child and having a contemptuous attitude, Coriander was completely angered by such a shameless person, and the more chill in her eyes made the deputy editor-in-chief shudder.

"How much this child owes you, how much I pay you back, but if you owe this child, I will also get it back for him with interest!" Leaving this sentence for the deputy editor-in-chief, Coriander explained to Ake again, "Show me him!" ”

With that, she strode away.

When she came to Longcheng Newspaper just now, she noticed a barber shop on the corner of the commercial street, found the barber shop, and plunged into it.

Coming out of the barbershop, the long braid behind the coriander was gone, like a teenager, and there was a large copper dollar on his hand that was tied together with a red head rope.
